If I don't know what I am talking about then all those university and government studies which came up with the same solution don't know what they're talking about. All the news reports on the topic don't know what they're talking about. Generally if all the facts point to something, then that's what it is. As I have said, I have done extensive study on many things dealing with the body and if this constant repetition of things is wrong, then why do the same results keep popping up in so many different studies of what happens to the body and such? But because one person tries it and lucks out by nothing happening, doesn't mean everyone is so lucky. Also, if by your advice anything happened to him, his parents could technically take legal action against everyone whom gave him ideas of how to lose weight and cheered what he did on. It's happened before, it's bound to happen again. Btw, do your research otherwise don't comment because next idea of what to do is show doctors I know this site and let them make comments on this topic. Them you can't really argue with because they went through years upon years of tedious education on the human body.

You know, I've been reading alot about surgery lately. You need a gall bladder removed?
Go back and read what has been said. No one has advocated the chronic, drastic loss of water, but Dr. Chicken Little is convinced that if so much as a drop of persperation leaves the body the poor victim should be rushed to the ER right away.
You don't know what you are talking about. Have fun in the library.
Then show articles proving that large water loss is harmless. If you have been doing so much research into the topic, then prove it. Prove that the advice a lot of these studies, doctors, and such have given is false and you are right.

Good grief what a dope! If you read what was written, the person originally posing the question was told not to do too much or too often. But the fact remains that cutting some water will not kill you. Dr. Little insists that cutting the least bit of water will instantly mumify you because he has no experience of the subject he claims expertise in.
"Be formless,shapeless... like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot."
"Water can flow, or it can crash... Be water my friend."
The fact of the matter is that in this case, the guy wanted to drop down 6 pounds, and some people suggested that disposing of some body-water might be an acceptable as part of the solution, on a short-tem basis.
unless this guy is a tiny-toon, 6 pounds alone wouldnt be anything critical even if all that weight came directly from body-water loss. And considering it was suggested as part of the solution, and not the only viable option, it would be realisticly be even less than 6 pounds. We are most likely talking about something well below 5%
Now, I don't normally encourage dehydration, because I believe its simply counter productive to developing your body in a positive way, however 6 pounds just isnt enough to do any kind of real damamge, no matter how he chose to loose it (short of carving of 6 pounds of flesh with a kinfe somewhere )
Its not a good alternative tho, to simply having reached your weight-limit by other means ahead of time. Unless you have a few days to recouperate after the weigh-in, water-loss will make you significantly weaker in a match, so in the end its your own loss. Of course, fasting, overtraining and other methods of loosing weight very quickly have much the same effect...
Thanks Stigma. I asked someone in the field and they said even though water loss in tiny amounts could be considered normal, as much as 1% could reduce, by quite a bit, one's performance, which is what you just stated. I still think proper diet is the best solution, but what some people were mentioning, like the sweat pants and sweat shirt along with a plastic bag over them was dangerous in itself. But then again I am one of those types of fighters who rather build muscle strength and speed than lose weight. Plus I have seen people use the water loss idea to lose weight and have seen quite a few bad things come of it, which is probably why I wanted to make sure he did not use that, because a proper diet in itself can give one the weight loss they want unless they just wanted the most impossible weight loss possible. My theory is if he could not make weight this time and was reasonable, then there is a next time and if he took it conservatively, then he would do much better. But once again Stigma thanks again. Be careful that the "water weight loss pro" whom thought I did not know anything say the same about you. But once again thanks.

Keep trying, chicken little. You can read all the books you want, interview bio-hydro-physio-whateverologists all day. It doesn't erase the fact that you have no experience in regard to the subject. For some reason you have gotten your little pride in a knot over the whole thing. Its starting to become comical at this point.

It's not my pride in a knot, it's yours. lol If you're the one denying doctors advice, then I have nothing to fear, because by doctors stating what I am hearing, it proves my idea about the matter correct. It's like you telling a trained animal expert that you can go attack the anaconda, it won't hurt you, may not the first few times, but sooner or later reality catches up. Plus I have proven my point, you have no evidense other than your luck to prove your point. You're the darwin nominee, not me. lol Btw, my statement was about what stigma said, which is generally what I said, not being careful can get you in tons of trouble and it's what the doctors and some more research showed.

Dr. Little:
You can keep going until your library card wears out, it cannot change the basic fact that you have no experience in the area you, for some reason, insist on ranting about. Take some time out from the latest edition of The Journal of Hysterical Geeks and read what has been posted here. Then, shut the **** up and go away.
I did. I read the whole thing and although there are some things I dont agree with, this guy did make some points. Just let it go, you may think he is wrong, he may think he is right, it doesnt matter anymore, stop ranting.

I'll tell ya what. You provide a positive role model by shutting up and I'll think about it.
